Your expert instructor possesses a Dipl.-Ing. (Univ.) in Materials Science from the University Erlangen Nürnberg in Germany, an MBA from Henley Management College in the UK, and holds the prestigious title of Six Sigma Black Belt. With a remarkable career spanning more than 27 years, he is recognized as an esteemed authority in the field of Hydrogen Technologies.

His professional journey includes a 5-year tenure as a scientific researcher at the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research in Baden Württemberg, Germany (ZSW). He then embarked on a noteworthy 14-year career at SGL Carbon, a global leader in carbon and graphite manufacturing, where he played various pivotal roles. His primary focus was on the development and production of Gas Diffusion Media, a crucial component of membrane electrode assemblies for hydrogen fuel cells and electrolyzers.

Following his tenure at SGL Carbon, he has spent 8 significant years with BMW AG, serving as a Technology Manager within the hydrogen fuel cell passenger car program, known as iX5 Hydrogen. In this pivotal role, he held responsibility for overseeing quality and safety management across the entire hydrogen system. This encompassed tanks, hydrogen supply systems, fuel cell systems, and in-house hydrogen infrastructure. His contributions also extend to his work with the Hydrogen Academy, where he has created educational materials. Some of these materials fall under their copyright and cover a wide range of topics related to hydrogen, including the hydrogen value chain, hydrogen economy, hydrogen generation (including electrolyzers), hydrogen storage and transport, fuel cell technology, and various industrial applications of hydrogen, such as green steel and ammonia.

He has conducted professional training sessions on this material at three different locations in both German and English languages, each spanning 8 hours, for clients of the Hydrogen Academy. Additionally, he delivered a 12-hour industrial training program on hydrogen introduction, covering similar topics, for a training company located in northern Germany. Furthermore, he has earned recognition as a tentative trainer (successfully passing all assessments) for Hydrogen Technology, Quality, and Safety Management at TÜV Süd Akademie GmbH. Over a span of 3 years, he has been actively engaged as a freelance educator, offering comprehensive courses that encompass the entire hydrogen value chain. These courses cater to a diverse audience, including academic and industrial professionals.

To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer individualized “One to One” coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers. They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help you achieve your goals faster.
